No apparent cost of disease resistance on reproductive output in Acropora cervicornis genets used for active coral reef restoration in Florida

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
As assisted sexual reproduction interventions continue to become embedded within coral reef restoration initiatives, it is important to understand the potential for trade-offs between key traits like reproductive output and disease resistance.

Asymmetric physiological response of a reef-building coral to pulsed versus continuous addition of inorganic nutrients

Scientific Reports, 2021
Coral reefs, especially those located near-shore, are increasingly exposed to anthropogenic, eutrophic conditions that are often chronic. Yet, corals under unperturbed conditions may frequently receive natural and usually temporary nutrient ...

Coral reefs in the Anthropocene [PDF]

Nature, 2017
Coral reefs support immense biodiversity and provide important ecosystem services to many millions of people. Yet reefs are degrading rapidly in response to numerous anthropogenic drivers. In the coming centuries, reefs will run the gauntlet of climate change, and rising temperatures will transform them into new configurations, unlike anything observed

The role of nocturnal fishes on coral reefs: A quantitative functional evaluation

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
The ecological functions of nocturnal coral reef fishes are poorly known. Yet, nocturnal resources for coral reef consumers are theoretically as abundant and productive, if not more so, than their diurnal counterparts.

Trophic innovations fuel reef fish diversification

Nature Communications, 2020
Both geography and ecology can drive the origins of new species. Siqueira et al. show how geological changes in the structure of Miocene reefs and the concurrent evolution of new feeding strategies combine to explain why coral reefs contain such a ...
